RE: help with moving from access to sql server
thats certainly possible... but is it a good idea??
I'd have thought the overhead concerned with storing 4bits (tinyint) rather
than 1 bit for each boolean field would be less than running the
convert/cast function against each value returned by the query...
I may be wrong though - have not run any empirical tests - and would be
interested to hear others thoughts/knowledge...

Can't you just use a Convert statement in your SELECT and GROUP BY clause
for the Bit fields?
For example
SELECT sum(line.total) as OrderTotal, Convert(Char(1), order.Sent) as
Shipped, order.ShipDate, order.ordernum
from line, order
where line.order_id = order.order_id
AND order.sent = 1 AND order.customer_id = #customerid#
group by Convert(Char(1), order.Sent), order.ShipDate, order.ordernum
I've done this several times on SQL Server platforms and it works with no

BIT is the correct type to use for a boolean value, but you must

it first since BIT typed columns cannot be included in a GROUP BY clauses.

I get especially confused with joins, and moment I prefer to use the old ANSI 88?? style joins. However, when I need to do any complex nested joins, I find myself relying on Access's query builder because I absolutely can't figure out how to write them by hand. I also have very little knowledge about stored procedures, triggers, indexes, etc. I've been able to gather that stored procedures and triggers can make a world of difference performance-wise, and I feel as-if I'm providing a a great disservice to my customers by not knowing how to properly evaluate when I should be using implementing stored-procedures, triggers or whatever.

RE: Browser client for upload files?
You have to set up two things. First you need a form page that has two things: 1. The form tag needs to have method=post and enctype=multipart/form-data. This tells the browser to send the file back to the server correctly. 2. In your form you need an input type=file... tag. This tag will put in a text box and a browse button that will let your visitor select the file. On your action page you'll need to make use of the cffile tag to copy the uploaded file into a destination directory. If you've never done this before, there are some good examples in the various Forta books. I have the CF Web App Construction Kit 4.0 and it's chapter 28 (Working with Files and Directories) for me.

RE: CFLOCK and Session variables
IMHO, I think session, application, server variables should be banished to the depths of hell. I recently wrote an application using just the client, variables, request and caller scopes.

We don't charge people more to use access but we make them keep the file below 20MB in size and we do not allow Excel datasources.

Re: CFPop problems!
1) In CF 3.1 there used to be a problem with deleting email No.1 (especially if it had an attachment). I don't know if this has been fixed in more recent versions of CF, but in any case I always pre-load the mailbox with a dummy No. 1 and then manipulate all mails from no 2 onwards. 2) There is no need to loop through deletes in this way...

RE: Training Recommendations
Hi Jay, I took a class called Implementing a Database on MS SQL 7.0 with Productivity Point Intl (www.propoint.com). It covered everything you're looking for, and you get to keep the lesson binder. It does not related back to ColdFusion, but I think it's important to learn the ins and outs of SQL and Enterprise Manager apart from ColdFusion as well, since it's usually most efficient to do as much of the database work as possible via views and stored procedures rather than in the ColdFusion code.

I also have very little knowledge about stored procedures, triggers, indexes, etc. I've been able to gather that stored procedures and triggers can make a world of difference performance-wise, and I feel as-if I'm providing a a great disservice to my customers by not knowing how to properly evaluate when I should be using implementing stored-procedures, triggers or whatever.

RE: Disabling back button
As far as I can remember, this is not possible to do. Oh sure, you can create a pop-up that turns off arrows and toolbars and things like that, but even then the context (right-click) menu has a Back command. Also, to add another wrench, the backspace key is aliased to the back command with some browsers. Whenever I've had clients ask for this functionality it seems there is some form of confusion in the use of the application. You might try figuring out *why* they want to disable the back button and fix that problem. Hatton, the right click is certainly possible. I can provide the code if required.

Problem with re-direct to other site.
All, We are in the process of trying to bring a website currently hosted externally in-house. As part of the process, I removed all hard-coded references to the URL in the code and set up a web server. Instead of using the DNS, I am testing using IP:port. In my development environment, it appears that any reference to the root directory of the web goes to production. For example, a link that references /index.htm will not go to http://1.1.1.1:80/index.htm. Instead, it will go to http://www.production-site.com/index.htm. This makes it impossible to test.

RE: Disabling back button
There is really no way to directly disable the back button. There are workarounds though that can be implemented.

Re: OLE-DB Client Storage Problem
Well, according to the Advanced ColdFusion Administration documentation for CF 5, the problem with OLE DB is probably related to my Win98 development environment. Apparently, OLE DB is only available on Win NT/2000. (Oddly enough, I didn't notice a problem until I tried using it for client variable storage.) Seems CFGRAPH isn't supported in Win98 either.

RE: Training Recommendations
Bit of a misnomer: what you need has nothing to do with ColdFusion - you need advanced database training. Maybe that'll help your search. I know you want it to relate back to ColdFusion. However, change your mindset a bit - your database is separate tier, not part of ColdFusion. As such, look for dedicated database training. About the only thing that will vary by language is calling stored procedures - and that's 15 minutes and a reference on your own.

RE: .biz domains ... what are the issues?
The same could be said about any TLD. And misspellings. It's cheap, why not? However, make sure your client's aware of the process for registering BIZ (and other new TLD's) There's a whole crop of companies advertising these domains; however, paying them doesn't guarantee the domain.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but I'm interested in the views of this group who know a lot about commercial sites I have been asked by a small but international client for my view on the new .biz domain names, and to my shame I hadn't really thought about it much. So I've tried to think through all the issues involved, and would appreciate the views of this list on the matter. What do you think needs to be considered about pre-registering .biz or shop or whatever domains? Here's what I've listed so far . (1) .biz domains are global, so when you've got a name you've got it worldwide, whereas .com, .co.nz, .com.au, .co.uk etc aren't. (2) If you don't pre-register your name in the .biz domain, someone else can end up taking your name. This might or might not be a problem depending on how important the .biz domains become. Do you guys think that these new domains will ultimately be as important as the .com domains? (3) If you don't pre-register your name you could find your own domain owned by an opportunist who will hold your name to ransom until you buy it from him at whatever price he wants. (4) If you have high traffic, someone else could use your name in one of these new tlds and use it to drive traffic to their site, parasitically. So you could end up with your customers being directed to a porn site or anything. And all at your cost. (4) Compared to the potential cost of having your name held to ransom or used by a competitor or even a porn site the cost of the new domains are chickenfeed. Is there anything else that needs to be taken into consideration? Cheers Mike Kear, Windsor, NSW, Australia AFP Webworks. www.afpwebworks.com ~~ Your ad could be here.

Overall, I want to improve my database design and SQL skills, but I want the information I learn to be delivered in a way so that it's always relating back to ColdFusion. Any suggestions? I've got a couple of suggestions. First, Macromedia now offers an introductory SQL course called, appropriately enough, Fast Track to SQL. The course doesn't specifically have much to do with ColdFusion, but everything within the course is relevant to building CF applications. Fortunately, there's not all that much you do differently within a CF app when it comes to database design and SQL. As for the course itself, it was created by Fig Leaf Software for Macromedia. I think that it does a good job of covering the basics of SQL, and have taught the class a few times and been satisfied with the basic course materials. http://www.allaire.com/handlers/index.cfm?ID=20695method=full Second, if you want something beyond SQL, I know that Adam Churvis offers a CF class which covers SQL Server and Oracle as well. I don't know the details, but I've heard good things about his classes, and I think highly of him and his skills myself. However, this is an advanced class, so you might want to learn basic SQL stuff (things like ANSI-92 explicit JOIN syntax) first. http://www.coldfusiontraining.com/ Finally, no matter what decision you come to about taking courses, I strongly recommend that you learn as much SQL and database design theory as you can - frankly, it's more important than knowing CF, even for CF developers, in my opinion! It's essential that you learn as much as you can about this topic, if you want to be a competent database application developer.

RE: Disabling back button
Is there a possible and simple way to do this - or is it a nightmare to do? You can do this, but it's almost always a bad idea - people expect the back button to be there, and to work a specific way. The way I typically see this done is by spawning a new browser window with no buttons at all.

Re: Message Board Threads confusion
hey guys i wanna build a message board, but am having difficulty with the concept of threads. Let's say there is a message, and 10 people respond to that same message. Are those ten people in the same thread? or not? But let's say that person B replied a message From person A, then person C replied to person B, then D to C, and so on. Is that considered a thread? What if person X Y and J responding individually to person C's message. does that mean A,C,B,X,Y, and J are all in the same thread? confusing!!! A Thread on a message board is generally considered as one post, and all the responses to that post (As I understand it). I would think something along the lines of... 100 (Message number, first post in a thread) 100.1 - First reply 100.2 - Second Reply 100.2.1 - First reply to second reply 100.2.1.1 - Next sub reply 100.2.2 - Second reply to second reply 100.3 - Third reply Maybe something like that?

Re: .biz domains ... what are the issues?
(1) .biz domains are global, so when you've got a name you've got it worldwide, whereas .com, .co.nz, .com.au, .co.uk etc aren't. Coke will own coke.biz and coke.shop just the same. If you register it, they'll sue your butt. So the same scramble will ensue with the .biz and shop names as with the dot-coms. Many of the speculators are not renewing the .com names they own. Keep checking whois and you'll see that many decent names are lapsing. NSI is making them available much more quickly now than before. I don't know how the other registrars are handling them. But back to the .biz and .shop. With the .biz and .shop, folks will now have to remember, was that blah.com or blah.biz or blah.shop? Better buy them all. (2) If you don't pre-register your name in the .biz domain, someone else can end up taking your name. This might or might not be a problem depending on how important the .biz domains become. Do you guys think that these new domains will ultimately be as important as the .com domains? What a scam! - Even if you pre-register you're not guaranteed anything. Many of the pre-register companies state right on their sites that they don't guarantee you will get your name. They don't even guarantee they'll go after it. Plus they won't refund your money if you don't get it. Pre-registration is a scam! (3) If you don't pre-register your name you could find your own domain owned by an opportunist who will hold your name to ransom until you buy it from him at whatever price he wants. Dittos from #2 above (4) If you have high traffic, someone else could use your name in one of these new tlds and use it to drive traffic to their site, parasitically. So you could end up with your customers being directed to a porn site or anything. And all at your cost. Dittos #1 above (4) Compared to the potential cost of having your name held to ransom or used by a competitor or even a porn site the cost of the new domains are chickenfeed. Yea - but it's still first come first server for the common joe. Unless you're a big corp that can afford lawyers to prove trademark infringment, you just need to be there when the door opens!

Re: CFHTTP to a new window.
No, Not directly... all control of windows is on the client side. What who can do is this: 1. Specify a new window as the target of the link or form, in the page that calls the template that contains the cfhttp... this is before the fact targeting. OR 2. Specify a hidden frame as the target of the link or form. This way, your cf template can send an unseen stub page to the hidden frame. The stub page can contain JavaScript to open another window and write the desired content from a variable in the stub, or just provide a URL. The URL could be the same cf template that now responds with the desired page instead of the stub. (Assume the cfhttp is deferred until this second call or that the cfhttp results were stored in a session variable). It is a little convoluted, but it actually works quite well... this is after the fact targeting. JavaScript has the ability to access any data in any form in any window or frame (that it knows about). It can also rewrite the entire content of any of these. You actually can get quite sophisticated and get some nice effects. For example you submit a form in one frame that targets a hidden frame... the original form remains in place, instead of making the user stare at a blank screen. The template called by the form performs validation and returns the results to the hidden frame, along with an onLoad JavaScript routine. The onload routine can open a popup window or an alert dialog that denotes that the form was validated or which fields were incorrect. Another approach is that the onLoad JavaScript can manipulate DHTML constructs in the originating frame... say, changing the content of a little status layer and then making it visible.

Re: CFHTTP
If I understand you correctly, you will get returned exactly hat you want, Go to the site where you want to post, with your browser. Manually post the form The page that gets returned is what you would get when doing the equivalent with cfhttp. The exception to this is when the page served, as a result, of the post does a client-side redirect with a metatag refresh, JavaScript onLoad, etc. In this case you will need to handle this by: receiving the page with the client-side redirect in CFHTTP.FileContent (the result of the post) Parsing the page (CFHTTP.FileContent) to determine the URL that is the target pf the client-side redirect Issuing a second cfhttp request for the target URL Processing the page (CFHTTP.FileContent) returned from this, second, cfhttp request as desired.

Re: OT: .biz domains ... what are the issues?
Mike Kear wrote: What do you think needs to be considered about pre-registering .biz or .shop or whatever domains? It is no guarantee whatsoever that you get the domain. Here's what I've listed so far . (1) .biz domains are global, so when you've got a name you've got it worldwide, whereas .com, .co.nz, .com.au, .co.uk etc aren't. All domains are global in the sense that if you type www.zip.com.au you will end up on the same server regardless as where you typed it. Some domains (not .com!!!) just have additional rules to register them, like living in a certain locality. But I have my .nl worldwide ;) (2) If you don't pre-register your name in the .biz domain, someone else can end up taking your name. This might or might not be a problem depending on how important the .biz domains become. Do you guys think that these new domains will ultimately be as important as the .com domains? If you do pre-register your name in the .biz domain, someone else can end up taking your name anyway. BTW, if somebody takes it away it isn't your name, it is his name. No, .biz and other new TLDs will not become as important. ICANN has stated that from now on new TLDs will be added on a regular basis, so I expect the new registrations will be spread over more and more domains. (3) If you don't pre-register your name you could find your own domain owned by an opportunist who will hold your name to ransom until you buy it from him at whatever price he wants. If you do pre-register your name you could find your own domain owned by an opportunist who will hold your name to ransom until you buy it from him at whatever price he wants anyway. Do you know why? Because it is not your own but his own ;) I would say, get one good domain and stick with it. Additional TLDs will mean that it will be: - a large financial burden to get your name registered in all domains - increasingly less important to have a certain domain With the last I mean that in the not so far future the amount of possible domains for company X which does car repairs (x.com, x.biz, x.info, x.com.ccTLD, x.car, x.shop, x.repair etc.) is so huge that people will stop trying to find a place by simply typing it in the address bar. Getting quality links and pushing your bookmark to the user is going to be the issue. Just look at how it works with phonenumbers: it used to be that you could be reached if people knew your number. Nowadays, with everybody calling mobile, people can only reach you if you are in memory or under a speeddial. Users are getting more stupid/lazy, they just want to click somewhere to go to your site instead of type it in the address bar, and if you click somewhere it doesn't matter where the link goes.

RE: RDS Disabling?!
I have people trying to RDS into servers when the service is
disabled. It looks like it is causing problems on my server as
sessions aren't lasting but 20 seconds. I think the server is
restarting thus killing the sessions. Is there a way to block
RDS requests? This looks like a brute force DOS.
You have a couple of options.
1. If you have control over the gateway, and you can do content filtering at
the gateway, simply filter out requests to /CFIDE/Main/ide.cfm. Or, you can
do this on the server itself using various host firewall products.
2. You can prevent all RDS requests by setting permissions on
{webroot}\CFIDE\Main\ide.cfm so that the web service (or anonymous user in
IIS) can't read or execute the file. If you're using IIS, you'll also need
to enable the Check that file exists box in the ISAPI extension
information for .cfm.

RE: CFLOCK and Session variables
You need to use CFLOCK to read and write session variables, the potential problems arise when a person browsing the web double clicks on a link, or someone sends a url out with cfid and cftoken on them. Session variables are shared, because they are accessible to all CF threads. When a person double clicks a link two requests are sent to the web server at nearly the same time, these two requests will likely be processed in different threads, that both have access to the session variable, if both try to write this causes an error. You need to use CFLOCK to read variables because if another thread is writing to a variable and a read request is sent at the same time you will get corrupted data, and possibly crash the server. There is a setting in CF administrator that does automatic read locking for you.

RE: DateDiff problems
The only issue I ever had w/ DateDiff was when I went over MAXINT doing a DateDiff over 80 or so years and returned it as seconds. Although in the case you describe below, I bet it's something else. Before the datediff, try parsing the dates to get the years, months, etc, and output them. I bet the years are wrong. === Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Chad Gray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 3:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: DateDiff problems My email didnt seem to hit the list.

I am very confident with my ColdFusion specific skills, but continue to find that my SQL skills (or lack of) are holding me back. I get especially confused with joins, and moment I prefer to use the old ANSI 88?? style joins. However, when I need to do any complex nested joins, I find myself relying on Access's query builder because I absolutely can't figure out how to write them by hand. I also have very little knowledge about stored procedures, triggers, indexes, etc. I've been able to gather that stored procedures and triggers can make a world of difference performance-wise, and I feel as-if I'm providing a a great disservice to my customers by not knowing how to properly evaluate when I should be using implementing stored-procedures, triggers or whatever. Overall, I want to improve my database design and SQL skills, but I want the information I learn to be delivered in a way so that it's always relating back to ColdFusion. Any suggestions?
